Year 3 Visit Colchester Castle
January 20, 2012
Year 3 were transported back to the Iron Age when they visited Colchester Castle. They found out about the Celtic way of life and how it was affected by the Roman invasion of Britain. Playing the part of Romans and Celts, Year 3 worked in teams to build a Roman villa and a Celtic roundhouse and they also gained a greater understanding of the way in which archaeologists have uncovered amazing ancient artefacts. A tour of the castle vaults revealed how the castle had changed over time and the children heard tales of how the Celts, led by Boudicca, tried to fight back against their Roman rulers.
